Eligh Nachowitz (born February 28, 1978), better known mononymously as Eligh, is a rapper and producer from Los Angeles, California. He is a member of the underground hip hop group Living Legends.
Eligh's inspiration for making hip hop music came in the mid 1980s from the film Beat Street and LL Cool J's "I'm Bad." In high school, he co-founded the hip hop duo Boogalu Badboys with Scarub. When they crossed paths with another rapper Murs, the three formed 3 Melancholy Gypsys (3MG). Eligh then moved from Los Angeles up north to Bay Area, where he met The Grouch, which ultimately led to 3MG's incorporation into Living Legends.
In the mid and late 1990s, while simultaneously continuing to produce with Living Legends, Eligh released several self-pressed solo albums, such as As They Pass and Gas Dream. In the early 2000s, he released darker and more cryptic albums such as Poltergeist and Enigma.
In 2005, Eligh took a break from music to confront his growing drug and alcohol addiction problems. After heroin usage nearly took his life, Eligh attempted to get clean on his own, but eventually realized that he needed to seek out help. On October 12, 2005, Eligh checked himself into a treatment center, and has been free from all drugs and alcohol ever since. The Grammy foundation MusiCares, helped Eligh get a bed at an addiction treatment center and assisted with the related costs. Eligh also credits Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous with helping him remain clean.

Z&G;&E; (Zion I, The Grouch and Eligh) and Evidence birthed a dope song and video this past month while on the road together! The guys just finished the extremely successful (mostly sold out) 19 city "How The Grouch Stole Christmas Tour". "The response has been overwhelming and we just wanted to give the people a little gift for the holidays" says The Grouch about the free download. Amp Live of Zion I made the beat and the song was complete when Evidence recorded his verse backstage at the Fox Theatre in Boulder Colorado. We shot the video at the venue right before our show in Sacramento. DJ Icewater did the cuts. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Kwanza or whatever it is you choose to celebrate!

The Famous Getdown w/FGTV interviewing Eligh (Living Legends)
We caught up with Grouch and Eligh before your show at The Middle East to discuss their current tour, their time in Boston and their recently released album "The Tortoise and The Crow". To kick off the interview they let us know that in trying to make sure they released everything they could for the fans, they decided that their album would be one solo Grouch record, a solo Eligh record and a third with them as a group. Using Kickstarted to fun this record they went over how they came up with their prize ideas and how it felt to be able to provide the fans with a new level of involvement when making this record. Moving on from the new album we go over their thoughts on independent artists compared to major label emcees and where it can take you, advice for the younger cats in the game ...

ELIGH AND GROUCH LIVE INTERVIEW WITH JUDA STARR (SPACED OUT MAGAZINE)
[Chorus:]
Jigsaw puzzling (loves and for muzzling?)
Shut off the aquaduct
(Not much you got?) for guzzling
When you take the ugly duckling and give his living some meaning
Now you got the answer
Curing all the cancer
From building blocks, to grocery spots. On tabletops and city blocks.
When clicking on the idiot box (your fine here niche?) is what we're taught.
You could call it a riddle, stuck in the middle.
Searching for objects
Can you reply, can you rewind? stuck in the bind.
Wishing I could just turn back time.
Remove and intertwine.
Some leave, some stay behind.
We search and find the perfect space
It's all erased.
Once in a while a smile's composed. Once in a while a file is closed.
Killin a case what's next to unfold for detective, sergeant, "OH".
New and improved, my prayers have been answered.
How can it all run so 360? I'm confused, cause I've been abused.
Feelings always intermixing.
What's next for the resovoir dog floating the river on hollow logs
Making a journey to Exodus.
Wondering who's the next for this.
It's like a rubix cube, minus the cube and rubix.
It's just you there. Now you stare at your hands, see?
These are the most important pieces secondary to the imagination station
That sits in between your two ears, and steers your exo-skeleton
To make what you do relevant.
Within these gears, you change the world.
Blow up mountains, repair bones, fix leaky faucets,
And send up messages through rockets, gidgets, gadgets and sprockets.
A man who's makin some profits
While the unfortunate They fall off, it's just the way it goes.
Now heres the tricky part.
You gotta start from birth, conquer turf, mark your Earth no matter the amount.
You got your plot it's to make it worth something, even if everyone else is fronting.
And avoid the noid to be like, "I didn't have the time to provoke the effort to make the ends meets to complete the measures."
They never lead to treasures, only add more to the pressures.
Coming faulty with the pleasures that are profitable and put you in the lead.
You gotta think with speed. It's a lifesize jigsaw puzzle.
Get what you need, or the answer to the meaning will crumble.
You'll stumble, you'll fumble.
Won't be able to rumble with the rest of the participants in this game.
It would be pretty lame if you ended up the same, you see.
It's like a rubix cube, minus the cube and rubix.
It's just you there.
[Chorus]
The heart-shaped box, sitting together between two rocks. Opportunity knocks.
Another strand of love to form the locks. Drape in the eyes.
Mistaken for disguise. Treading water in all different walks.
The days keep passing by. The grease bubbles, it pops in a pan across the land.
Struggle to gain financial pain falls like acid rain.
A man stands in his own picks from a bone thrown to the dogs.
A fan of falling deeply in it, call him the lieutenant.
Such a devoted fan to living comfortable on the Earth.
A wrinkle in time on a Grandfather Clock stalking,
Hit since birth.
For what it's worth he believes in karma, and all that it brings back.
But your still comes fairly, easing off counter attacks.
Diseased in all this blender, negativity fills the cracks.
And craters in the brain of a human being in the music seem fact.
A creator loves creating 'til creating becomes monotonous.
Then to the art his heart can't be monogamous.
At last, the magic wears off. Now it's a job.
The heart can't muster the energy to throb or get it's head to bob.
A lob to a teammate won't last on a greater scale.
Cause you later fail, waiting for the dog to chase it's tail.
[Chorus]
From building blocks, to grocery spots. On tabletops and city blocks.
When clicking on the idiot box (your fine here niche?) is what we're taught.
You could call it a riddle, stuck in the middle.
Searching for objects
Can you reply, can you rewind? stuck in the bind.
Wishing I could just turn back time.
Remove and intertwine.
Some leave, some stay behind.
We search and find the perfect space
It's all erased.
Once in a while a smile composed. Once in a while a file is closed.
Killin a case what's next to unfold for detective sergeant, "OH".
New and improved, my prayers have been answered.
How can it all run so 360? I'm confused, cause I've been abused.
Feelings always intermixing.
What's next for the resovoir dog floating the river on hollow logs
Making a journey to Exodus.
Wondering who's the next for this.
Out with the old ideas, bring in the new ideas.
Bonding is encouraged, separation discouraged.
In order for us to flourish this planet break apart the granite
Marketing strategists kick it in the gleuteous-maximus
Spitting industrial pollution out the contusion of our adjectives.
Later's better than never in this jigsaw that we formulate.
Some would say it's all up to you. Some would say hands are pulling strings
Calculating every move you make. Explaining how you do your thing.
DNA, and doctors know a lot to have answered. To map out genes
And pass out features through strains.
That would explain why we're so vain when it comes to the name,
A personalized signature verifying your originality. Or is it simply a title passed on by your first idols.
Apparently the answer varies family to family. So the candy can be poisoned, or just too sweet to handle.
Do ya see?
[Chorus]
